Israel-Hamas conflict: Why Marco Rubio thinks that war in Gaza is not over yet
Israel-Hamas conflict: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that the Gaza war had not yet ended. Rubio’s remarks occur the most important delegations representing Hamas, Israel and Palestinian factions, which began to speak in Egypt on Monday, to negotiate the conditions of President Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza Peace Plan. Rubio described the release of the hostages that Hamas held as the first phase, saying that the details of what was happening afterwards still have to be worked out. He told NBC’s Meet The Press Hamas agreed to President Donald Trump’s proposal and the framework for the release of the hostages, while meetings were underway to coordinate its logistics. “In principle and generalizations, they also agreed to take this idea about what was going to happen next,” he said. “A lot of details have to be worked out there.” Rubio later spoke to Fox News on Sunday, saying that nothing is sure. “No one can tell you that this is a 100 percent guarantee,” he said. Rubio told NBC that the US would know ‘very quickly’ whether Hamas was serious or not during the current technical talks to coordinate the release of the hostages. “Priority number one, the one we think we can hopefully achieve something quickly is the release of all the hostages in exchange for Israel moving back” to the yellow line – where Israel stood in Gaza in mid -August – he said. Hamas partially accepted the Trump plan in the closest that the two parties are seen, the devastating conflict in Gaza has stopped in almost two years since the attack on October 7, 2023. World leaders welcomed Hamas’s agreement on Saturday to release all October 7 hostels in Gaza under a peace agreement proposed by US President Donald Trump, calling it a ‘significant’ step forward and the ‘best chance of peace’ in attempt to end war in the region. Shortly after the announcement of Hamas, US President Trump ordered Israel to stop “bombing the Gaza strip immediately. On Sunday (US time), Rubio described the second phase of the long-term future of Gaza as “even harder”. “What happens after Israel retreats to the yellow line, and possibly developing beyond this thing? How do you create this Palestinian technocratic leadership that is not Hamas? ‘ Rubio said. “How do you disarm any form of terrorist groups that will build tunnels and attack Israel? How can you demobilize them? ‘ “All the work, it’s going to be difficult, but it’s critical, because without it you won’t have lasting peace,” he added. When did the war start in Gaza? The Gaza War is an armed conflict in the Gaza Strip and Israel, which was fought as part of the unresolved Israeli -Palestinian conflict dating from the 20th century Israel and Palestine has been involved in a conflict for several decades. The fresh war between war between October 7, 2023, when Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, in which 1,195 Israelis and foreign citizens, including 815 civilians, died. 251 was held hostage with the stated purpose of forcing Israel to release Palestinian prisoners. What did Trump plan for Gaza? President Trump has drawn up a 20-point plan, backed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as he ended the Israeli-Hamas war and established a management after the war in the war-defined Palestinian area. Trump’s plan would set up a temporary Governing Council that would be led by Trump and included former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The ‘comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict’ asks Gaza ‘to become a deradian terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to his neighbors’ and promises the redevelopment “for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough”. Rubio had earlier praised the coalition of Arab countries merged by US President Donald Trump for the termination of the Gaza conflict. However, Rubio said that it was no political coalition, but that they were dealing with terrorists. “We do not have to do with a political movement, we are dealing with murderers, barbarians and terrorists. But what we give hope is the coalition president Donald Trump who pushed in the same direction with us to get the hostages released and resolved the conflict,” the US Minister of State Secretary said in a post on X. Trump on Sunday (local time) that entire world terminated “for the release of the release of the host and to end the battle.” Was very successful and continued quickly. ” “There were many positive discussions with Hamas this weekend, and countries from all over the world (Arabic, Muslim and all) to release the hostages, end the war in Gaza, but, more importantly, have long sought peace in the Middle East,” he wrote on Truth Social.
